La Vieille Ferme

Old French Farmhouse from the 17th Century

Description - Bed and breakfast

In the centre the village of Fresné-la-Mère, just 4km from the historic town of Falaise (the birth place of William the Conqueror) within the Calvados region of Basse Normandy. The property was a working farm until the early 90s and since then has been converted to a 5 bedroom Chambre D’ hôtes,(Bed and Breakfast), within 5 acres of land. The days of it being a working farm might be over but a few farm animals still roam "Free range" throughout the grounds and you may even see some ducks and geese enjoying our small lake. Take a look around our web site and see all our facilities and the great things Normandy has to offer!

Bed and breakfast amenities

Our property is situated in the Calvados department famous of course for it's cider and Calvados but also boasts it's own aperitif which is made from a mixture of the two called Pommeau. The renowned cider route close by will guide you on a picturesque route through countryside and villages and takes you past 19 local producers where you can sample while taking a guided tour.

If you do plan to go further a field, Paris is only a two hour train journey from Argentan (20 minutes from the property) and the train takes you right into the centre. Le Mans and its famous race track is under two hours by car.

We keep a selection of leaflets and information in the guest lounge to help you plan your days while you are here. If you would like any help with booking or planning we are more than happy to help.

Neighborhood

Normandy truly is a magnificent part of France to explore and enjoy. It boasts some of the top tourist attractions outside Paris including Mont St Michel, The Bayeux Tapestry and the Normandy Landing Beaches to name but a few. Normandy is divided into five departments and we have chosen to name our five guest rooms after them. Each department has its own charm and offers something different to its visitor, we hope that our rooms reflect this also.

Normandy's huge popularity comes perhaps from its diversity and rich history. From the gorgeous beaches in the north to the rolling hills of Suisse Normandy to the moving and reflective D-Day Landing sites. It seems that within it there is something for all generations to enjoy.

It is a great area for all kinds of sporting activities. There are two great water sports centre nearby. Beautiful walks and cycle rides. Horse riding, golf and fishing all within easy reach
